14-Day Australian Wildlife Safari

       This is a specialist itinerary giving the opportunity to observe up to 30 native animal species in their natural habitat; no other Australian itinerary can match this.  Included are some species that are being rehabilitated after near extinction, such as Numbats, Bettongs, Bilbies and certain Wallaby species.

                  Some National Parks are included in our visits, but much of this wildlife will be observed in private locations.  Visitors will get the opportunity to meet some outback Australians with overnight stays on sheep stations, and almost two days on Kangaroo Island.  A short boat cruise on the Murray River is included, and the magnificent Flinders Ranges is yet another feature.  We'll have a boat trip with an overnight stay on the unique Coorong, and many other unusual and interesting visits are part of this itinerary.

Mostly accommodated with a great variety of overnight stays.  Several nights camped out, but a fully accommodated itinerary is available.  Flora and fauna are expertly interpreted.

These Safaris feature visits to some of the John Wamsley--Established Earth Sanctuaries; Yookamurra in the mallee near Swan Reach, and Scotia in far western New South Wales, where you will see Australian animals living in the Australian bush as they used to do before the introduction of feral predators.

The sanctuaries are the homes of fascinating and sometimes rare Australian mammals and marsupials such as Bilbies and Bettongs, Kangaroos and Wallabies; Pademelons, Bandicoots and Quolls, Potoroos and Possums.

Daylight animals to look out for include the delightful little Numbat.

    The 9-Day Wildlife Way Safari also includes visits to the Bookmark Biosphere, Gluepot Station,  (owned  by  Birds  Australia)  and  Chowilla,  a  working sheep station.  We'll visit "Binda" Murray River Camel Farm and enjoy a boat trip to an island where Koalas are usually seen.  A visit to Norwest Bend Station museum is also included, then via the Barossa Valley to Adelaide.

Travel the 7-Day Wildlife Way  -  Coastal

This module covers Kangaroo Island, the Coorong, and the Glenelg River area in far South Western Victoria.  Highlights of this safari include the magnificent coastal scenery, Penguins, several marine mammals, Southern Right Whales (in season), Koalas and Echidnas.  Drive over huge drifting sand dunes to the ninety mile beach and search for the rare Orange-bellied Parrot.  See Mount Gambier's famous Blue Lake and visit Tolka farm, on the edge of the Glenelg River. Here we enjoy the excellent variety of wildlife that abounds. We travel to Bool Lagoon, and see a special Bird taxidermy display.  The safari ends at Yookamurra Sanctuary with a guided evening walk, viewing the abundance of native wildlife.

NOTE:   The 14-Day Australian Wildlife Safari includes nearly all of the features
of the 9-Day and the 7-Day itineraries
